"It can't be the Zheng family in Fujian, right?" Zhu Ping'an asked the question in his heart.

Wang Jinfa suddenly laughed, but he was a little surprised in his heart. I didn't expect this adult to know about the Zheng family. Although the Zheng family in Fujian is majestic on the sea, they are maritime merchants after all, or pirates, and they are not well-known in the interior. Zhu Ping'an was able to know the Zheng family's cunzài, and obviously the news was very well-informed.

"Uncle misunderstood, it's not the Zheng family. The Zheng family is rich and rivals the country, and they don't look at these businesses. These characters who are small and acquainted with were also majestic on the sea, but now that the Zheng family is powerful, they are a little decayed. But it's refreshing and righteous! Wang Jinfa explained.

Only then did Zhu Ping'an put his mind at ease. There is a dream about the ocean in the hearts of everyone, and Zhu Ping'an is no exception, but it is still too early to talk about this. What's more, the Zheng family seems to be beautiful now, but in fact, it is a tree without roots and a waterless ping, without the backing of a strong state power, their glory can only be short-lived.

Zhu Ping'an nodded, which was considered approval. He instructed Wang Jinfa to go to Hong Fatzi to withdraw some gold and silver as expenses for the road and meeting, and repeatedly told him to be cautious on the road. Although Jiangnan is more stable than the north, the road is not smooth, and it is said that the salt ding of Jianghuai is one of the biggest bandits.

Also, Zhu Ping'an remembered a key thing. The necessary things to cross the crowd may have appeared in the coastal area of Jiangnan at this moment, that is, potatoes and sweet potatoes. The so-called Kang Yongqian prosperous era relied on these two things to lead to the population explosion in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, although the country's strength regressed, but the wealth was increasing day by day, and it was cheaper for the Japanese and Western powers.

It is the end of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the era when these two grains are most needed as their effects. Zhu Ping'an didn't know where he could go in the future, but with these two things, he could at least ensure that thousands of hungry people would not die.

Wang Jinfa responded one by one, and when he saw that Zhu Ping'an was fine, he turned around to leave. But after taking a few steps, he retreated again, and stopped talking.

Zhu Ping'an smiled, "You guy, if you have anything to say, just say it straightforwardly, just make a girl to show to whom?" ”

Hearing Zhu Ping'an say this, Wang Jinfa was a lot more relaxed, and then he had the courage to say it. "Uncle, the little one is just recently attached, you are so relieved to let the little one go out to do things alone, aren't you afraid that the little one will run away?"

Zhu Ping'an laughed and scolded and threw a piece of pastry that he had just prepared to take to satisfy his hunger into his arms. "You guy, I saw that I killed a lot of people today, didn't I? Why, are you still worried about whether I'm tempting? Rest assured to do your errand, since you have taken refuge in me, there is no reason to be suspicious. You are also a person who has read the book for two years, and you still don't know the truth that you don't need to use suspicious people and use people without doubting? ”

Wang Jinfa's heart was hot, and he gave a salute at the moment, and walked out relaxedly.

Zhu Ping'an threw out another sentence, "I know that you and Yin Shigang also have some friendship. Sue him, even if the reader is serious, don't be suspicious all day long, follow the official to do things, as long as you are diligent and loyal, there will not be so many twists and turns! ”

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is the first day of September.

In the evening, it was time to go to the governor's yamen to accept Professor Lu Zhenfei, and since last night, Zhu Ping'an has had an inexplicable restlessness.

This kind of affection is very much like the nameless restlessness and resistance before the start of school in later generations. Although it is far away, it is deeply memorable. At this moment, Zhu Ping'an has only one picture in his mind. That is the scene of the desperate Zhou Xingxing standing at the gate of the school and looking up helplessly. Suddenly, Zhu Ping'an felt the same way.

Why did Lu Zhenfei rush to teach himself the art of war and scripture and history, Rao is Zhu Ping'an and two people, but he can't think of a specific reason if he thinks about it.

But there is a practical problem in front of him, starting today, Zhu Ping'an will have to relive his student years.

……

The leaves of the trees continued to fall from the branches, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard gradually lost their original color and became sluggish and yellow.

The high wall finally regained a little anger, under the deliberate actions of Lu Zhenfei and Lu Jiude. There are two more rough maids in the high wall, which can help Zou Jing take care of Zhu Yujian and the Zeng couple, and because of this, Zhu Yujian's body recovered quickly.

Although the wind is a little cool, but today's sunshine is still good, until noon, the whole yard is warm, the blue sky does not have a trace of clouds, and the foothills of Phoenix Mountain in the distance are clearly presented in everyone's eyes.

A bamboo chair, a book, and a cup of steaming tea beside him, this kind of life, Zhu Yujian has not enjoyed it for a long time, looking at the Zeng family who is teaching two maids to weave cloth in the distance, Zhu Yujian suddenly feels that life is so simple, and it is so easy to make people satisfied.

There was a gentle knock on the front door, Zou Jing heard the sound and went over to open the door, but his back suddenly bent down, he smiled and agreed, and ran back to the backyard, "Master, Lord Lu is here!" ”

The drowsy Zhu Yujian suddenly became completely sleepy, and stood up by pressing the armrest of the bamboo chair, "Please!" ”

After thinking about it, he called Zou Jing again, "Let's go to the front yard to greet us!" ”

After Shi Yingzhao's death, Duan Xinian was in charge of Fengyang Wei, and the lieutenant guard of the imperial tomb was not yet in place, Zhu Yujian's life within the high walls was much looser, and some food and clothing were secretly transported in by Duan Xinian and Zhu Ping'an, and Lu Zhenfei also ignored this, and it was clear that he wanted to take care of Zhu Yujian, and Zhu Yujian was also very grateful for this.

Lu Zhenfei's sudden visit made Zeng and the maid have to temporarily retreat to the side hall to take refuge, but Zeng was not at ease, so he ordered the maid to be discharged from the hospital to watch the wind, and he walked out lightly and stood under the porch to eavesdrop on the conversation in the house.

"Is the prince okay?" Zhu Yujian let Lu Zhenfei into the main hall, leaving only Zou Jing to wait. Lu Zhenfei didn't use tea, not even polite, so he stood up and gave Zhu Yujian a deep salute.

"What do you mean, sir?" Zhu Yujian was startled, instinctively stood up, and hurriedly returned the salute, "I was originally a guilty person, but now I am just a concubine, how can I be worthy of such courtesy from adults!" ”

After so many years of imprisonment, in comparison, today's life on the high wall is much better, think about being claustrophobic in the palace with his father since he was a child, and the first thing he wakes up every day is to consider whether he can see the rising sun tomorrow again, that feeling really makes Zhu Yujian unbearable.

It's a pity that his father didn't escape the catastrophe, and still died quietly in a remote cold palace, and Zhu Yujian's biological grandfather didn't even look at it, and buried the body hastily. The blood and family affection of the royal family is as cold as this.

Years of imprisonment have made Zhu Yujian develop a suspicious but tenacious character, and he is even more cautious and polite to the court officials he occasionally sees, lest he be picked on the wrong place, so when he saw Lu Zhenfei paying respects, he suddenly became a little unsettled.

Lu Zhenfei insisted on finishing the etiquette, and then sat down.

Zhu Yujian accompanied Lu Zhenfei for a while, but a pair of eyes kept roaming Lu Zhenfei's face, hoping to find some clues from it.

But Lu Zhenfei's face did not change at all, but put the teacup on the table and arched his hand at Zhu Yujian, "Lord Wang, Zhu Ping'an's affairs are already known!" ”

This sentence was like a muffled thunder that exploded in Zhu Yujian's ears, but Zou Jing, who was standing on the side, had weak legs and feet, barely supported and did not fall, and his face became bloodless.

Zhu Yujian forced a smile to squeeze out, "My house slave, is there any trouble again, it really bothers the adults!" ”

"The prince knew that what Xia Guan said was not what he meant. There is no one here, what the lower official said about Zhu Ping'an refers to his life experience! ”

Zou Jing fell to his knees with a thud, and then kowtowed like pounding garlic, "My lord Mingjian, Zhu Ping'an's matter was planned by the old slave, and the prince of my family did not know about it, and all the blame was borne by the old slave alone!" After a few moments, there were already blood marks on his forehead.

Lu Zhenfei hurriedly stood up in shock, wanting to help Zou Jing up, but although Zou Jing was old, his body was strong, and he couldn't pull it for a while.

Zhu Yujian sighed, "Since Lord Lu already knows, Zou Jing, let's get up and hide the heirs of the clan, this is my sin, and no one can take responsibility for me." ”

At this time, Zeng's couldn't hold back any longer, and went straight in, and his eyes were resolute and gave a deep salute to Lu Zhenfei, "My lord, please let my husband and wife go on the road together!" ”

After speaking, standing beside Zhu Yujian, the two looked at each other with bitter expressions on their faces and shook their hands.

Lu Zhenfei couldn't cry or laugh for a while, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all the fault of the lower officials, and the lower officials didn't come to Xingshi to ask for guilt." ”

Zhu Yujian and his wife were stunned for a moment, and looked at Lu Zhenfei in unison.

Lu Zhenfei arched his hand, "The officials have already learned about the matter of peace." But I also learned more about the prince. In the ninth year of Chongzhen, the world was turbulent, only the prince raised troops into the king of Jingqin, knowing that leaving the fief without permission would be severely punished, but the prince was indomitable, and he also won the heads of several Tartars! Such loyalty, Lu admires! ”

"Zhu Ping'an is the blood of the prince, and he is the heir of the heavenly family. In the battle of Fengyang, thanks to his night attack on the enemy camp, he was spared the disaster of the people of the city and the sword soldiers of Zhongdu. This son could no longer return to the genealogy in this life. This official, ah no, the student is abrupt, I want to include it in the door, and then teach it carefully, I can also cultivate a pillar of talent for my Ming Dynasty, and it can be regarded as leaving a bloodline for the prince in the future! ”

Lu Zhenfei raised his head, "Don't misunderstand, Lord Wang. At present, the situation is turbulent, and the clan magnates are all only concerned about their own interests, but only the prince still cares about the world. The student has nothing to grow in this body, only the cold window has been studying hard for more than ten years, and he still has a little experience, and he can't bear to see the prince suffer such a catastrophe, so he can only teach Zhu Ping'an what he has learned, hoping that he can inherit the mantle of the prince, and he will do his part for the Ming Dynasty in the future! “

Zhu Yujian looked at Lu Zhenfei without blinking. Lu Zhenfei held his head high, his face was slightly flushed because of excitement, but his eyes were extremely clear.

Zhu Yujian's eyes became a little moist for a while, and he hurriedly turned around, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and turned around, but he solemnly waved at Lu Zhenfei, "In this way, the dog will be entrusted to Mr. Yu Jianbai (Lu Zhenfei's words see white)!" This is the blessing of my father and son, and if I can get the approval of Mr. Bai, even if I am imprisoned in this high wall for a lifetime, I have no regrets! ”

Zeng was stunned, but he couldn't say anything in front of Lu Zhenfei. Zou Jing's eyes in the distance were a little distant, and when he saw Zeng's expression, he couldn't help but think of something, and his eyebrows couldn't help revealing a trace of melancholy.

After Lu Zhenfei left, Zhu Yujian's heart fluctuated, and his mood was much better, and he waved his sleeves, "Zou Jing, do you have any wine?" Da Lang can get the favor of Lu Jianbai, but it is also a matter of my heart, it is rare to be so happy, I want to drink a few cups! ”

Watching Zou Jing hurriedly prepare the wine and food, Zeng looked at Zhu Yujian's face and couldn't help but sigh faintly.

Zhu Yujian was very concerned about his wife, and hurriedly grabbed her hand and asked what was the matter.

Zeng hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "Lord Rong, the concubines and concubines have not arrived this month, it seems that there is, it seems that there is a ......!" ”
